If there is going to be an 'upset', then this could be the one as this trainer has a great record with his first up runners

F: 331B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Although this is clearly a step up on its last start maiden win, it did win that by 6 lengths and its turn of foot was that of a very good galloper
Main Danger
5 Lucy In The Sky
F: 161XB(6)W(56.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Tony Pike )
First run since May but comes into this after three trials. Furthermore, will have matured considerably during that spell and will build on the two wins from 3 starts last campaign

Dividend :

F: 35115B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Chris Wood )
Caught our eye when scoring its second win (in particular) two back and then stepped up another level in the Auckland Guineas. Not surprisingly it finished a bit off the talented Well Written but can bounce back here
Main Danger
5 Miss Ziggy
Dividend : $2.20
Place
F: 51391B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Andrew Carston )
South Island trainer hasn't been shy in putting this one up against the best, right from its days as a 2yo. His judgment is proving to be good, and rails draw to advantage today
Next Best
4 Fat Cat
F: X1806B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )

Just over 1 1/2 lengths behind That's gold last start and does look better than the rest

Longer Odds
2 Empirical
F: 91B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Steven Ramsay & Julia Ritchie )
Good win at second start, 10 weeks ago. Expect it will be fit enough to resume, given that there is support from somewhere, having been backed down from $25

F: X2553B(9)W(58.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )

Has been close up in all 4 runs this campaign and a win is not far away. Finished ahead of Windrush last start and, with Cody Cole sticking with warren Kennedy, we see no reason why it wouldn't today

F: 10X24B(5)W(59.5)

Consider
1 Be Water
F: 3X2B(11)W(58.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Alex Oliveira )
Especially good run when resuming, considering that was its first run, and only second career start, in 13 months. Takes improvement but wide draw

F: 6521B(5)W(57.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Stephen Marsh )

Place
F: 920X1B(10)W(55.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Benjamin King )
Ran in the Oaks back in March before being spelled and subsequently really matured to another level when resuming. Having seen its performance that day, you don't want to be on anything else in this
Main Danger
6 Sista Sugar
F: 6X212B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Shaun & Emma Clotworthy )
Ever so consistent and it might well have backed up its previous win but to running into a very exciting galloper last time

Place
F: 818X4B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )

Consider
12 Lady Impending
F: 11B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Unbeaten in two runs, this Stephen Marsh runner will find things a bit tougher today, but has drawn well and Wiremu Pinn is a very polished rider now
Longer Odds
4 Mad Max
F: 71458B(2)W(57.0)

Main Danger
14 Fosse
F: 27418B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Steven Ramsay & Julia Ritchie )
Got a much deserved win at Otaki two back, after being caught up in running in previous races. Although it disappointed three weeks ago at Matamata, that was a stronger field and was never really in with a chance after getting back early. Rails draw
Next Best
6 Steely Man
F: 91257B(13)W(58.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Lynda German )
Loved its gutsy win here back in November and it is now dropping back from an Open class race last time, where it wasn't far away in a strong field
Consider

F: 41X86B(3)W(56.5)
